actually, i painted them today.... its a cool chrome-green..... doesnt really tie in well w/ the whole thing, but after i paint a few more things w/ that paint, it should look btter.....

well, i was just kidding... i did paint them though... i got duplicolors "cast-aluminum" color.... you can see what color it is by the tranny... looks just like a very clean aluminum.... thats what i painted the intakes, throttle body, elbow, and thermostat housing with..... basically the same color they were, just w/ a slight shine to them.... but the touch up paint would be cool, i did happen to put a few little niks in the paint

oh, and i forgot to give you my main pulley... i thought it was a bolt on one ,but it replaces the whole shebang! i tried to take the big bolt off, but you got it on there pretty tight, so ill just send it w/ the rest of the stuff so you can throw it on

yea, i'll zip it off with the impact and swap it out. no biggie.

if you could, make sure the clutch hydraulics are working when you drop it off. when you do the nut, you have to have the clutch pressed in, or it's possible for the spacer to drop. if that happens, it'll eat the needle bearings, thrust plates, front bearing, and maybe more.

nope.. there was about 1/2" maybe 3/4"... so no need to modify...

hey dave, im having big trouble w/ my yhdraulics for the clutch.... ill have to give you a call tomarrow and see what you think it might be... new master, ss line, and new slave cyl... and no matter how many times i press the clutch pedal, no pressure gets built.... even opened bleeder valve, and then even took off the hard line off of the master... then pumped it, and nothing..... just a few milimeter sized air bubbles... im using dot 4 synthetic fluid... could that be the problem?

you have to pump up the new master cylinder. i bench-bleed them. stick your finger over the outlet while you push in on the rod a few times. i'd definately do it on the bench because the brake fluid eats paint.

you don't need expensive fluid for the clutch, but i don't think that's the problem.
